Dr. can check throat: Throat symptoms can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, coming with high fever, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep). Throat blisters or ulcers are more likely viral.
